Gigi Ibrahim as featured on PBS's Frontline.

(PBS Frontline) Her family is part of the Egyptian elite, but 24-year-old Gigi Ibrahim says she's fighting for her country's future. With thousands following her Twitter feed, Gigi has become something of a celebrity in Cairo's Tahrir Square. In this video, we see her attempts to convince her family of the righteousness of her cause. But will they come around?

Frontline airs their special "Revolution in Cairo" on Tuesday night (Feb 22).

Gigi Ibrahim and other Egyptian youth are on this week's Time magazine cover. Her twitter account is @GSquare86.
